Weightloss - The science experiment





Figuring out what works and what doesn't for weightloss is like playing with your chemistry set.  What works for one person may not work for another and things that worked months ago, may not be the same now...Its alot of trial and error.  Also sometimes it's just weird.


So I have flavor cravings...It's rare I want food,  its usually I want salt or sugar or tart.  Once the craving has been satisfied I'm ok, usually I'm ok for a while.

Add to this I'm a creature of habit and I have the same flavors every morning.  Breakfast is an egg white omelet with chopped broccoli, onion and cheddar cheese.....and 2 sausages...I know its alot of sodium, probably bad for me, but it hasn't broken anything and when I don't have it..I notice....Take note of that last point.

So I go to get breakfast ...I left my wallet at home.  I ended up ordering from  a diner via paypal and no sausage....I eat..but for an hour I just feel like something is missing. I'm sure this is just a weird creature of habit thing, but its irking me.  I ended up ordering corn beef hash and eating it....I was great, but it bothers me I NEEDED to taste the salt.   Blah

I also ordered a bagel with cream cheese and lox.  I ate half the bagel...I realized part of my cravings or hunger in the early afternoon was due to not eating enough. If I had had my normal breakfast I would have gotten toast. I'm curious if I'll see a bump tomorrow.The other side of that is I think I'm a little too attached to the scale so I may not get on again till Monday to see what kind of damage has been wrought over the holiday weekend.

Also as of right now I really want some sushi..on a want scale of 1-10 I'm at about a 4.  We'll see how I feel tomorrow.

1lb

Well this week end been a little wacky. I didn't eat anything I planned to eat. I didn't over eat and I think I made good choices all week. I only exercised once this week which I'm not entirely happy with, but I'm ok with that too. Back at it tomorrow (Saturday). So anyway. I know I haven't had the big 3-4 weight loss I had been having so I jumped on the scale. I'm down a pound( to 333) . Its nice because I haven't gained, but I would like to be firmly in the 320s by the end of the month. I have managed to stick to my lent goals with the exception of the 2 beef meals I've had. I will admit Applebees has been calling and it was rough avoiding the scallops with bacon but I'm ok. Funny who I can ignore the Ben and Jerry's and not the scallops. I wonder if it will get easier. Happy that I am not forming any new attachments with food. I do have a craving for hooter, but I think their salads (if you can call it that, more like salad dressi...

Reading through my Blog/ Learning more about me

So I was looking for distraction from the vending machine monster and I found a 100 calorie snack ( i need to start carrying those again) and realized I was 312 lbs back in April. :-(, but I think the good thing is I am back at 312 and will soon be lower. I also learned spring and summer are bad times for me and I need to learn to modify my exercise plan during the summer. I think I felt like if I didn't feel like working out I couldn't do anything. I should have done maybe 30 min or something...We'll see I also noticed I am slightly scale obsessed, but like I posted before the scale has been who I judge myself and right now I WANT to be under 300lbs. So between the 100 cal snack and reading 3fc and the blog I am ok. Now home to a bowl full of mixed vegetables ( lol and I am actually looking forward to it)

Repeating Mistakes/ To fibit not to fitbit

LOL once I start blogging I can't stop. So I'm in the exercise groove...I've been here before..the weight is coming off.  I'm eating right, feeling good..and then...I do too much, get frustrated and binge and then quit...sigh So I started posting on 3 fat chicks again.  I felt like I need an outlet for things I was feeling without judgement and I like reading about other people struggles so I don't feel alone.  I am avoiding any challenges and any group posts.  The posts where everyone already knows everyone so you post but no one responds because they don't really know you...blah... The reality is I don't do well on challenges and it stops becoming about weight loss and feeling good and more about "winning" nothing..because there is no actual prize.  If I win yeah..but often I "lose" and feel bad and then begins a downward spiral into feeling like a failure.  Weirdly this is also the reason I never got into counting carbs or cal...
